Founded in 2015, Festival of Debate is an annual series of panel discussions, debates, Q&As, artistic responses and other public events in Sheffield, exploring politics, economics and society. It’s coordinated in collaboration with partners across the city, from grassroots campaign groups to community groups to cultural institutions.
